FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the format of the product number file 20. The product number file 20 includes the product number, product name, unit price, and calories per unit weight (for example, 100 grams).
An area is formed in which information such as unit calories can be set. For products sold in stores, the product name, unit price, calories per unit weight, etc. are set in advance according to the product number attached to the product, and although it is not sold in stores, it can be used as an ingredient for cooking. Regarding the products to be used, only the product name and calorie per unit weight are set in advance in accordance with the product number of the product.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the format of the dish file 30, and this dish file 30 includes an area where a dish code, a dish name, multiple product numbers, and the amount used (unit amount) for one person can be set. is formed. The name of the dish, the product number of each monthly charge used in the menu, and the amount used for one person are set in advance in correspondence with the dish code attached to each dish menu.

As shown in FIG. 4, the keyboard 6 includes a plurality of preset keys 61 in which a product number and a dish code are preset to one key, a number key 62 for inputting numerical data, and a product number for specifying a product number. key 63, a total key 64 for instructing the closing of cash transactions, a multiplication key 65 for inputting a multiplier, a key for selecting whether the preset key 61 is to function as a product number preset key or a dish code preset key. Various keys such as a shift key 66 and a clear key 67 used for clearing set numbers, clearing errors, etc. are provided.

In addition to the above-mentioned calculation work memory, print buffer, and display buffer, the RAM 4 includes, as shown in FIG.
Cooking work memory 41 consisting of multiple product number areas, unit quantity area, quantity area and calorie area, number of people memory 4
2. A total calorie memory 43 and the like are formed.

The CPU is program-controlled to execute the process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 6 when the preset key 61 of the keyboard 6 is input during normal registration work. That is, when an input to the preset key 61 is detected via the keyboard controller 7, it is checked whether or not the shift key 66 has been input immediately before that. If there is no input from the shift key 66, the preset key is functioning as a product number preset key, so normal sales processing is executed. That is, the product number file 20 is searched using the product number preset in the input key, and the product name, unit price, etc. corresponding to the corresponding product number are read out. In addition, A/D converter 1
The count value is taken in from 4 and converted into a weight value, the price is calculated from the weight value and the unit price, and the product name, price, etc. are displayed on the display 10 and printed out on a receipt by the printer 10. In addition, the receipt is the cash key 64.

On the other hand, if the preset key 61 is input after the shift key 66 is input, the preset key is functioning as a cooking code preset key, so the cooking code preset to the input key is used to create the cooking file 3.
0 is searched, and the dish name, each product number, and unit amount corresponding to the corresponding dish code are read out. Then, each product number and unit amount are stored in the corresponding area of the cooking work memory 41 of the RAM 4. Furthermore, the printer 0 is driven to print out the cooking report message, date, time, name of the dish, etc. on the receipt. In this state, wait for the number of people data to be input. When a multiplier is input using the number key 62 and the multiplication key 65 of the keyboard 6, the multiplier is determined to be the number of people data and is stored in the number of people memory 42 of the RAM 4. Further, the blink 10 is driven to print out the number of people on the receipt.

Next, one material data (
The quantity of the corresponding material according to the number of people is calculated by taking out the product number and unit quantity) and multiplying the unit quantity by the number of people data in the number of people memory 42. Then, this calculated quantity data is stored in the corresponding quantity area of the cooking work memory 41. Further, the unit calorie data corresponding to the retrieved product number is read from the product number file 20, and the unit calorie is multiplied by the number of people in the number of people memory 42 to calculate the amount of calories corresponding to the number of people for the corresponding material. Then, this calculated calorie data is stored in the corresponding calorie area of the cooking work memory 41. Furthermore, this calorie data is added to the contents of the total calorie memory 43 of the RAM 4, and the addition result is added to the total calorie memory 43.
Store in 3.

Once the above data processing has been performed sequentially for all the material data in the cooking work memory 41, the printer 10 is driven to print out the name of each ingredient used in the cooking menu, the amount according to the number of people, and the calories. are printed sequentially. That is, the material data (item number+ffi+calories) in the cooking work memory 41 is retrieved, ten items corresponding to the item number are retrieved from the item number file 20, and printing is executed.

After printing the final material data, the total calorie data in the total calorie memory 43 is read out,
Print out on the receipt. After that, a receipt is issued as a cooking report and this process is completed.

In this embodiment having such a configuration, it is assumed that the data shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 are set in the product number file 20 and the dish file 30, respectively. In this state, the user inputs the shift key 66 of the keyboard 6, and then inputs the preset key 61 to select the cooking menu "Curry".

Further, the number of people (for example, two people) is input using the number key 62 and the multiplication key 65. Then, a cooking report 70 as shown in FIG. 7 is automatically issued. As shown in this Cooking Report 1.70, the ingredients used in the cooking menu "Curry", the amount of each ingredient according to the number of people, the calories of each ingredient according to the number of people, and the total total. Calories are printed.
